I won't bury the lede: Is the Rainbow Serpent male or female?
It's pushing out lots of side branch sprouts and lots of the leaf tips are turning brown. A leaf sprout with a brown tip looks a lot like a preflower with a pistil growing out of it and one had me really fooled a couple of days ago. But it was not even a preflower at all! They grow from the node and they are so tiny, I just cant tell what is a preflower and what is a leaf sprout. I am really suspecting that this is a male plant but I will continue to wait just to confirm.
The clones don't look too happy. I put rooting gel on them last week to encourage some rooting action, and sure enough, I got a root off of the first clone that I took, which was about a week before the others. Hopefully the rest won't be too far behind. I also increased the water level in the clones' cups last week and I don't think they like that. Or maybe the upper level in the tent is too warm because both the lower and upper lights are on now, since I moved the mothers to their own level separate from the clones as noted in the last update. I put all of them into fresh cups with fresh water and will see if that helps. I may need try getting some extra ventilation in the veg tent to reduce the temp.
I may try planting that Flo 1 plant that has rooted. The flower tent is empty and I'm looking forward to finishing vegging in the flower tent so they can put on a little size (but not too much) before switching to flower. C'mon roots!
Ok, can anyone tell me what they think, IS THE RAINBOW SERPENT MALE?
I wouldn't be sure whether a plant was male or female until putting it in flowering light cycle for a few weeks. I recently grew DJ shorts Blueberry F5 and Blue V2, which I was able to re-veg, but the two big Blueberry F5s have not come back and I am about to call them and replant, but they did produce hundreds, maybe thousands of seeds crossed with the male Blueberry F5 I grew out and then shook all over them. It's amazing how little flower you get when the plant makes seeds. But now I have enough seeds from my initial pack to grow out 50 at a time and pheno hunt for the most blueberry I can find. Gonna put them in solo cups and re-veg them after a handful of weeks in flower, and transplant to 5/7 gal pots with a fresh JMS (JADAM Microorganism Solution) to help ease the transplant and boost root growth.
Your bonsai trees look cool. I'd wanna be sure before I chop any. You could stick it in a little cardboard box with a light hanging above it on a 11on/13 off timer and you should know for sure a few weeks later
